According to a leaked Intel Arc B580 3DMark Time Spy result, the new Battlemage graphics card is faster than the $399 GeForce RTX 4060 Ti.

One example could be Real-Time Neural Radiance Caching for Path Tracing. It's all pretty complicated, but the short version is that it uses AI to enable faster, lower-noise path tracing by handing over the radiance caching to a neural network.

The upcoming Arc B580 Battlemage Intel GPU is shaping up to offer a decent bump in speed over its predecessor, ahead of its launch later this week.

Nvidia’s new RTX 50 series graphics cards are looking like more of a lock for CES 2025 than ever, with Zotac and Acer now having leaked as many as five new GPUs — ones which may also have a new AI trick up their sleeves that we’ve never seen before.
